DAY 2 | MODULE 1
Competitor Analysis
A competitor analysis was conducted to identify how Brighton Bio Labs compares to other hair restoration and aesthetics clinics in the Brighton and Sussex area, and nationally. The goal was to identify positioning gaps and opportunities.
Exosome treatment, trichology diagnosis, scalp analysis, hair transplant guidance, scalp microneedling
Trichology consultation: £120 (1 hr). Consultation + scalp reset: £160 (2 hrs). Scalp microneedling: £70/session, course of 4 £260, course of 8 £480. Exosome therapy: price on enquiry (bulk discounts available).
Trichologist-led, "treating the cause not the symptoms": run by Hayley, a certified trichologist with 18+ years experience trained at Harley Street
No robotic delivery, no blood diagnostics, no PRP/ACRS protocol. Solo practitioner model vs Brighton Bio Labs' clinical team. No IV vitamin therapy offering.
FUE/FUT hair transplant, Cellenis PRP therapy, laser therapy (LLLT), minoxidil, finasteride, 360 Optimum Hair products, scalp micropigmentation
Home treatment products: from £50/month. Laser therapy (LLLT): from £120/month (includes home products). Minoxidil prescription: from £75 per 3-month prescription. PRP: from £350/session. Scalp micropigmentation: from £500. Hair transplant surgery: from £1,899.
Award-winning multi-therapeutic clinic (GHP Best Hair Loss Treatment Provider 2023). "Trusted by 1000s of patients since 2012." Unbiased advice across all treatment options.
No exosome protocol, no blood diagnostics, no plant-based/organic angle. Surgical-heavy focus. No robotic precision delivery. Brighton Bio Labs is more specialised and diagnostic-first.
PRP hair restoration, scalp treatments, skin & aesthetics, laser hair removal, mesotherapy
PRP hair restoration: "affordable rates" with package deals available. Specific prices not published online; free consultation required. Consultation fee refunded if treatment is started.
Spa-led, comfort-focused aesthetic clinic offering PRP as part of a wider beauty menu. Transparent pricing, free consultation, personalised plans.
PRP-only hair offering: no exosomes, no ACRS, no blood diagnostics. Generalist medi-spa rather than hair specialist. No robotic delivery. Brighton Bio Labs' Stem Signal Booster™ is a clinically superior, multi-signal protocol.
Key insight: All three local competitors offer PRP or trichology-based treatments, but none combine exosomes + PRP + ACRS + robotic delivery + blood diagnostics in a single protocol. Brighton Bio Labs' Stem Signal Booster™ is the only multi-signal, diagnostic-first hair restoration programme in Brighton and Hove.
DAY 3 | MODULE 1
3-Month Content Plan
A 3-month content plan was developed to ensure consistent, strategic output across all channels. The plan aligns content themes with the customer journey, from awareness through to conversion and retention.
| Month | Theme | Content Focus | Channels | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1 (March) | Awareness & Education | What is exosome therapy? How does the Stem Signal Booster™ work? What causes hair loss? | Instagram, Facebook, Blog | Build brand awareness; grow following |
| Month 2 (April) | Trust & Social Proof | Client testimonials, before/after results, blood diagnostics explainer, NAYNA partnership | Instagram, Email, Google Ads | Build credibility; generate consultation enquiries |
| Month 3 (May) | Conversion & Retention | Seasonal offer (spring hair restoration), FAQ content, booking process walkthrough | All channels + retargeting | Drive bookings; retain existing clients |
Weekly Posting Cadence
DAY 5 | MODULE 1
Case Study: Brighton Bio Labs x NAYNA Head Spa
On Day 5, a collaborative marketing case study was developed exploring the partnership between Brighton Bio Labs and NAYNA Head Spa. This exercise demonstrated how two complementary wellness brands can create a joint campaign that benefits both audiences.
Stem Signal Booster™ exosome protocol, blood diagnostics, IV vitamin therapy. Target: hair loss sufferers seeking non-surgical solutions.
Scalp treatments, head massage, hair wellness rituals. Target: wellness-focused clients interested in scalp health and relaxation.
Collaboration Campaign Strategy
| Campaign Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Joint Offer | "The Complete Hair Health Package": NAYNA scalp treatment + Brighton Bio Labs blood diagnostics consultation at a combined price |
| Cross-Promotion | Each brand promotes the other's services to their existing audience via Instagram Stories and email newsletters |
| Content Collaboration | Co-created educational content: "The difference between scalp health and hair restoration", posted on both channels |
| Referral Scheme | NAYNA clients who book a Brighton Bio Labs consultation receive 10% off; Brighton Bio Labs clients receive a complimentary NAYNA treatment |
| Event | "Hair Health Evening" at NAYNA premises: Brighton Bio Labs presents on the science of hair loss; NAYNA demonstrates scalp treatments |
Key learning: Partnerships with complementary brands allow both businesses to access new audiences at zero paid media cost. The NAYNA collaboration targets the \"scalp wellness\" audience who are already interested in hair health but may not yet be aware of clinical restoration options.
Get Creative with Content Marketing
Learn design skills to create cross-platform assets including images, video and copy. Covers design principles, Canva, and the exosome education carousel created for Brighton Bio Labs.
Building Multi-Channel Campaigns
Experiment with a range of platforms including social media, email, web and paid advertising. Covers landing page audit, email marketing, PPC, SEO strategy, and Yoast SEO optimisation.
DAY 7 | MODULE 3
Landing Page Audit
The landing page at brightonhairrestore.com is well-structured and contains a strong set of conversion elements. The headline "Revive. Restore. Regenerate." is punchy and on-brand. The 7-step journey section clearly communicates the treatment process and reduces anxiety for prospective clients. The pricing section is transparent, with clear payment plan options (from £295/month via GoCardless), which directly addresses the most common objection for a premium-priced service. The inclusion of blood diagnostics, a sample blood test report, and the "Hair Growth Law" lead magnet all demonstrate clinical authority. The sticky footer CTA ensures a conversion point is always visible.
What the Page Does Well
"Revive. Restore. Regenerate." - punchy, on-brand, immediately communicates the outcome.
Payment plans from £295/month with GoCardless guarantee address the primary financial objection.
Blood diagnostics, sample test report, and Hair Growth Law lead magnet build expert trust.
Clearly communicates the treatment process, reducing anxiety for prospective clients.
Sticky footer with Book Now and Schedule a Free Call ensures conversion is always one click away.
20% off first session creates urgency and gives paid traffic a compelling reason to convert.
Conversion Optimisation Recommendations
| Priority | Recommendation | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High | Add real before-and-after photos with client names and treatment type | Real, high-resolution photos build more trust than stock imagery and directly demonstrate results |
| High | Move testimonials immediately below the results/before-after section | Social proof is most persuasive when placed directly after visual evidence of results |
| High | Add a trust badge row near the top (GoCardless, Randox, NAYNA partnership) | Reduces financial and clinical risk perception early in the page journey |
| Medium | Add a short 60–90 second video of the treatment environment or client testimonial | Video increases time-on-page and conversion rates significantly |
| Medium | Strengthen the consultation CTA: 'Book Your Free 15-Min Call - Find Out If You Are a Candidate' | More specific CTAs outperform generic 'Book Now' buttons |
| Medium | Add a FAQ item specifically addressing 'Is this better than PRP?' | The most common comparison search; answering it on-page captures comparison-intent visitors |
| Low | Add a postcode/location qualifier near the hero: 'Serving Brighton, Hove & Sussex' | Reinforces local relevance for paid search visitors from the area |

Pre-header: Discover the precision-delivered, organic-first protocol that is changing hair restoration in Brighton.
Hi [First Name],
Hair loss is rarely just about hair.
It is often a signal from your body: a nutritional deficiency, a hormonal shift, or a change in your scalp environment. At Brighton Bio Labs, we find the root cause before we recommend any treatment.
Our Stem Signal Booster™ is the only precision-delivered, organic-first protocol engineered to restart your hair's natural growth cycle. Using a combination of plant-derived and autologous growth signals, delivered with 100% robotic uniformity, it targets dormant follicles at a molecular level, without needles, without downtime, and without synthetic chemicals.
This March, we are offering 20% off your first session for new clients.
The consultation is £75, fully redeemable against your treatment plan, and includes a comprehensive blood diagnostics screen to identify exactly what is driving your hair loss.
Spaces are limited this month. We would love to help you understand your options.
Warm regards,
The Brighton Bio Labs Team

Competitor Analysis
| Competitor | Location | PPC Activity | Key Weakness vs Brighton Bio Labs |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Harley Street Hair Clinic | London (national) | Active - broad keywords | High price; not local; no plant-based angle |
| Wimpole Clinic | London (national) | Active - strong PPC | Surgical focus; no organic/botanical protocol |
| Rejuvenate Clinic Brighton | Brighton | Minimal | Generalist aesthetics; not hair specialists |
| Sussex Trichology | Sussex | No PPC | Diagnosis-only; no treatment protocol |
| Therapie Clinic Brighton | Brighton (chain) | Active | Laser hair removal focus; not restoration |
Gap identified: No local Brighton/Hove competitor is running PPC specifically targeting exosome hair therapy, the diagnostic-first approach, or the plant-based/organic positioning. This is a significant opportunity for Brighton Bio Labs to own these terms at low cost-per-click.

DAY 8 | MODULE 3
SEO Strategy
Search Engine Optimisation is the long-term engine behind sustainable patient acquisition. This section covers the keyword research, on-page optimisation, technical audit, and blog content strategy for both Brighton Bio Labs websites.
Website Audit
Both websites were audited for on-page and technical SEO. The most critical finding is that brighton-biolabs.co.uk does not have an SSL certificate (HTTPS), which is a confirmed Google ranking signal and causes Chrome to display a "Not Secure" warning to visitors. This must be resolved before any other SEO work will have full effect.
| Issue | Site | Priority | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Install SSL certificate (HTTPS) | brighton-biolabs.co.uk | Critical | High - ranking signal |
| Fix www SSL mismatch | brightonhairrestore.com | Critical | High - trust and ranking |
| Optimise page title tags with keywords | Both sites | High | Medium - ranking improvement |
| Add meta descriptions to all pages | Both sites | High | Medium - CTR improvement |
| Add alt text to all images | Both sites | High | Medium - accessibility and image SEO |
| Add LocalBusiness schema markup | Both sites | Medium | Medium - local SEO |
| Submit sitemap.xml to Search Console | Both sites | Medium | Medium - indexation speed |
| Add internal links between blog posts | brighton-biolabs.co.uk | Medium | Medium - crawlability |
| Optimise images to WebP format | Both sites | Low | Low-Medium - page speed |
| Add FAQ schema to FAQ sections | Both sites | Low | Low - featured snippet opportunity |
Keyword Research
Keyword research was conducted using the Semrush Keyword Magic Tool (UK, March 2026). The broad "hair loss" topic contains 43,800 related keywords with a combined monthly search volume of 2,524,060 and an average keyword difficulty of 40, confirming it is a highly competitive space. The strategy for Brighton Bio Labs is to avoid the highest-difficulty broad terms and instead target lower-competition exosome and local keywords where the clinic can realistically rank.
Broad "Hair Loss" Market Overview (Semrush UK, March 2026)
| Keyword | Monthly Volume (UK) | KD | CPC (USD) | Verdict for Brighton Bio Labs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| seborrhoeic dermatitis | 49,500 | 77 (High) | $0.00 | Avoid - informational only |
| alopecia | 27,100 | 77 (High) | $1.05 | Avoid - too broad and competitive |
| hair transplant | 22,200 | 74 (High) | $4.54 | Avoid - surgical, not relevant |
| bald or (hair loss) | 18,100 | 59 (Moderate-High) | $0.50 | Avoid - too broad |
| itchy scalp | 14,800 | 66 (High) | $0.30 | Avoid - informational |
| alopecia areata | 12,100 | 78 (High) | $1.06 | Possible long-term target |
| dandruff and (hair loss) | 12,100 | 38 (Moderate) | $0.41 | Avoid - not core service |

The Future of SEO: AEO and AI Overviews
AI Overviews now appear in over 25% of Google searches. However, Brighton Bio Labs is well-protected because local service queries ("hair restoration clinic Brighton") rarely trigger AI Overviews. The blog content also demonstrates E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) which is the signal AI engines use to select cited sources.
| AEO Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Add practitioner name, qualifications, and biography to each blog post | Establishes E-E-A-T and author credibility for AI citation |
| Add a 'Last reviewed' date to all clinical content | Signals freshness and medical accuracy |
| Include references to peer-reviewed studies in blog posts | Supports E-E-A-T and increases chance of AI citation |
| Create a dedicated 'About the Clinic' page with full credentials | Builds trust signals for both Google and AI engines |
| Keep FAQ sections updated and well-structured | FAQ format is what AI Overviews draw from most frequently |
SEO is a long-term investment
The most important immediate action is installing the SSL certificate on brighton-biolabs.co.uk. Once HTTPS is live, submit both sites to Google Search Console and begin tracking keyword positions. The blog post is ready to publish with all Yoast fields completed.

Key Learnings and Reflections
The exercise demonstrates how systematically applying the Yoast checklist transforms an unoptimised draft into a search-ready post. Starting from a draft with 0 keyphrase uses and no structural optimisation, the post was rebuilt around the focus keyphrase "IV vitamin drip Brighton", placing it in the title, introduction, slug, and meta description, and increasing word count from 178 to 425 words.
The final Yoast analysis returned 12 green results, confirming that the core keyphrase placement, density, title structure, slug, outbound links, and text length all meet the required standards. The 4 remaining red flags (no images, no internal links, keyphrase absent from a subheading, and the duplicate image/alt issue) are all addressable in the next iteration and are typical of a first published draft rather than a structural failure.
The single orange flag (meta description length slightly over 156 characters) requires only a minor trim of approximately 10 characters to resolve. This result demonstrates a solid understanding of on-page SEO principles and the ability to apply the Yoast framework to real client content.
Next Steps to Resolve Remaining Issues
| Issue | Fix Required | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| No images on page | Add at least one image with alt text containing the keyphrase | High |
| No internal links | Link to the Brighton Bio Labs services or homepage within the post body | High |
| Keyphrase not in subheading | Add or edit an H2 to include 'IV vitamin drip Brighton' or a close synonym | Medium |
| Meta description over 156 chars | Trim the description by approximately 10 characters | Low |
Strong first-pass result: 12/17 checks passed
The blog post achieved 12 green results on the first optimisation pass in the WordPress training environment. The focus keyphrase is correctly placed in all critical structural elements: title, introduction, slug, and meta description. The 4 remaining issues are straightforward to resolve and represent normal next-iteration work rather than fundamental errors. The post is ready to publish to the Brighton Bio Labs blog once images and internal links are added.

DAY 9 | MODULE 4
Industry Benchmark Research
As part of Day 9's individual task, industry benchmarks were researched across five key marketing metrics for the health, beauty, and aesthetics sector. These benchmarks provide a baseline against which Brighton Bio Labs can measure campaign performance and set realistic targets. Sources include Klaviyo's 2024 Benchmark Report, Medico Digital's 2025 UK Healthcare Paid Search Benchmarks (built from £5.5M+ in real UK healthcare ad spend), Dash Social's 2025 Beauty Industry Benchmarks, and Databox's Website Traffic Benchmarks by Industry.
Why benchmarks matter: Marketing metrics only become meaningful when compared against a relevant standard. Without industry benchmarks, a 30% email open rate could appear either excellent or poor depending on the sector. For Brighton Bio Labs, operating at the intersection of healthcare and beauty, the most relevant benchmarks come from both the health and beauty email sector and the UK healthcare paid search sector.
Health and beauty brands benefit from high brand loyalty, which drives above-average open rates. Automated flows (welcome sequences, post-consultation follow-ups) average 50.03%, making them the highest-performing email type for this sector. Brighton Bio Labs should prioritise automated sequences over broadcast campaigns.
CTR in health and beauty is relatively low for broadcast campaigns because the audience is browsing rather than transacting. Automated flow emails significantly outperform at 4.62% average CTR. For Brighton Bio Labs, a single clear CTA ("Book your consultation") with a strong visual will outperform multi-link emails.
Instagram engagement for beauty brands holds at approximately 3.9%, outperforming the all-industry median of 0.48%. Healthcare accounts on Instagram average 3.7%. TikTok leads at 4.6% for beauty. Brighton Bio Labs' before/after content and educational reels are well-suited to achieving above-average engagement, as visually demonstrable results consistently outperform generic promotional posts.
UK healthcare paid search achieves an average conversion rate of 4.89%, with top performers reaching 6.26%. For aesthetics clinics, landing page conversion rates of 5–12% are reported when the page is optimised for a single action. Brighton Bio Labs' consultation booking page should target 5% as a realistic initial benchmark, rising to 8–10% with A/B testing of the CTA and social proof elements.
UK healthcare Google Ads achieve an average CTR of 6.55%, well above the cross-industry average of approximately 3.5%. This reflects high intent searches in healthcare. Brighton Bio Labs' target keywords ("exosome hair treatment Brighton", "hair restoration Hove") are specific and high-intent, which should support a CTR at or above the industry average.
Health and wellness websites average a 59.44% bounce rate, slightly above the all-industry median of 60.78%. A bounce rate below 55% would place Brighton Bio Labs in the upper quartile for the sector. The primary drivers of high bounce rates in this sector are slow page load times and a mismatch between ad copy and landing page content. Ensuring the Google Ads landing page mirrors the ad message exactly is the single most effective way to reduce bounce rate.
Brighton Bio Labs operates in a high-intent, high-trust sector. The benchmarks confirm that email automations (welcome sequences, post-consultation follow-ups) significantly outperform broadcast campaigns, that Instagram engagement for healthcare and beauty brands is strong relative to other industries, and that UK healthcare paid search delivers above-average CTR. The priority for Month 1 is to establish baseline measurements across all five metrics so that performance can be tracked against these benchmarks from the outset.
DAY 9 | MODULE 4
Google Analytics 4: Setup and Reporting Plan
Day 9 covered Google Analytics 4 in depth, including account structure, event tracking, acquisition reports, filters, and comparisons. The following documents the recommended GA4 setup for Brighton Bio Labs and the key reports that should be monitored monthly.
Recommended GA4 Account Structure
| Level | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Brighton Bio Labs | Top-level account for all Brighton Bio Labs digital properties |
| Property | brightonhairrestore.com | Tracks all website activity across the main marketing and booking site |
| Data Stream (Web) | brightonhairrestore.com | Collects user events from the website via the GA4 tag |
| Data Stream (Future) | Brighton Bio Labs App (if developed) | Would connect via Firebase SDK if a booking app is created |
Key Events to Track
| Event Name | Trigger | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| consultation_booking | User submits the consultation booking form | Primary conversion event; the most important metric for the business |
| page_view | Any page load (collected automatically) | Shows which pages attract the most traffic and where users drop off |
| scroll | User scrolls 90% of a page (collected automatically) | Indicates content engagement; high scroll depth on treatment pages signals intent |
| click (outbound) | User clicks a phone number, email, or WhatsApp link | Tracks offline conversion intent; important for a consultation-led business |
| lead_magnet_download | User downloads the free hair loss guide | Tracks top-of-funnel lead generation from the email capture form |
| video_complete | User watches a treatment explainer video to completion | High video completion correlates with consultation bookings |
Data Quality Setup
Add the Brighton Bio Labs clinic IP address to the Data Filter settings to exclude internal traffic. This prevents staff browsing the website from inflating session counts and distorting engagement metrics.
Set data retention to 14 months (the maximum available in GA4). This allows year-on-year comparisons in Explore reports. The Privacy Policy should be updated to reflect this retention period in line with GDPR.
If the booking system (e.g., Fresha, Cliniko) is on a separate domain, cross-domain tracking must be configured. Without it, GA4 will record the booking confirmation as a new session from the payment provider, not from the original traffic source.
Monthly Reporting Plan
| Report | GA4 Location | What to Review |
|---|---|---|
| Acquisition Overview | Reports > Acquisition > Traffic Acquisition | Which channels (Organic, Paid, Direct, Social) are driving the most sessions and which have the highest engagement rate |
| User Acquisition | Reports > Acquisition > User Acquisition | How new users are finding the site for the first time; critical for evaluating whether SEO and Google Ads are working |
| Engagement | Reports > Engagement > Pages and Screens | Which pages have the highest engagement time; the treatment page and consultation booking page should be the top two |
| Conversions | Reports > Engagement > Conversions | Total consultation_booking events per month; track against the monthly target |
| Realtime | Reports > Realtime | Check within 30 minutes of sending an email campaign or posting on social media to confirm traffic is being driven to the site |
GA4 Certification: The official Google Analytics 4 certification is available free via Google Skillshop at skillshop.docebosaas.com. Completing this certification demonstrates professional competency in GA4 and is a recommended next step following Day 9.
DAY 10 | MODULE 4
Google Ads Campaign Types
Day 10 covered the full range of Google Ads campaign types and how to select the right one based on business goals, audience intent, and available assets. The analysis below applies each campaign type to Brighton Bio Labs and identifies the recommended strategy.
Keyword targeting, Responsive Search Ads, ad extensions
Primary campaign type. Target 'exosome hair treatment Brighton', 'hair restoration Hove', 'PRP alternative Brighton'
Image/banner ads across 3M+ websites and apps
Retargeting visitors who viewed the treatment page but did not book
YouTube pre-roll, in-feed, and Shorts placements
Before/after treatment videos and protocol explainer content on YouTube
Product data feed; shows image, price, retailer name
Not applicable — Brighton Bio Labs is a service business, not e-commerce
AI-optimised placements and bids; requires strong creative assets
Suitable once Search campaigns are established and conversion data exists
Recommended Campaign Structure
| Campaign | Ad Group | Keywords | Landing Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hair Restoration Brighton | Exosome Treatment | exosome hair treatment Brighton, exosome hair restoration Hove, exosome scalp treatment | brightonhairrestore.com/treatment |
| Hair Restoration Brighton | PRP Alternative | PRP alternative Brighton, non-surgical hair restoration Brighton, stem cell hair treatment | brightonhairrestore.com/treatment |
| Hair Restoration Brighton | Hair Loss Consultation | hair loss consultation Brighton, trichologist Brighton, hair loss specialist Hove | brightonhairrestore.com/book |
Keyword Match Types
| Match Type | Example | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Broad Match | exosome hair treatment | Initial testing to discover search terms; monitor closely for irrelevant traffic |
| Phrase Match | "hair restoration Brighton" | Maintains phrase order; allows words before or after; recommended for most ad groups |
| Exact Match | [exosome hair treatment Brighton] | Tight control for highest-intent, highest-cost keywords |
Ad Rank and Quality Score: A high Quality Score reduces cost-per-click and improves ad position. For Brighton Bio Labs, the most important factor is landing page relevance. An ad for 'exosome hair treatment Brighton' must link to a page that prominently features exosome treatment, not a generic homepage. Ensuring ad copy and landing page content are tightly aligned is the single most effective way to improve Quality Score.
DAY 10 | MODULE 4
GA4 Explore Reports: Scenario Analysis
The Day 10 submission requires written analysis for three set scenarios using GA4 Explore reports. Each scenario below identifies the correct report type, the steps to build it, and how the findings would be used to improve Brighton Bio Labs' marketing performance.
Funnel Exploration visualises the sequential steps users take through a defined process. It shows the percentage of users who complete each step and where the largest drop-offs occur.
- 1.Navigate to Explore and select Funnel exploration
- 2.Define steps: Homepage > Treatment page > Booking page > consultation_booking event
- 3.Set date range to last 90 days
- 4.Add Breakdown by Device category to compare mobile vs desktop drop-off rates
If the largest drop-off is between the Treatment page and the Booking page, users are interested but not converting. The fix is a stronger CTA and social proof (testimonials, before/after images) directly above the booking button. If the drop-off is on the Booking page itself, the form has too many fields or lacks trust signals.
Free-Form Exploration allows full customisation of dimensions and metrics in a table format. It is the most flexible report type in GA4 and is ideal for cross-referencing a dimension (landing page) against a metric (conversions).
- 1.Navigate to Explore and select Free form
- 2.Add Landing page as a Dimension
- 3.Add Sessions, Key events (conversions), and Engagement rate as Metrics
- 4.Sort by Key events (descending) to show the highest-converting pages first
- 5.Optionally filter by medium (organic or cpc) to see which acquisition channels drive conversions from each page
Pages with high sessions but low key events should be reviewed and optimised with stronger CTAs and more compelling content. If the homepage has a high conversion rate, it suggests that direct navigation users (people who already know the brand) are the most likely to book.
Cohort Exploration groups users by a shared characteristic and tracks their behaviour over time. It is specifically designed to compare retention rates between different user groups.
- 1.Navigate to Explore and select Cohort exploration
- 2.Set Cohort inclusion to 'First touch'
- 3.Add two Segments: First user medium = 'email' vs First user medium = 'social'
- 4.Set Cohort granularity to Weekly and Metric to Retention rate
- 5.Review Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 retention rates for each segment
If email-acquired users show higher retention, invest more in growing the email list through lead magnets and post-consultation follow-up sequences. If social-acquired users show comparable retention, increase posting frequency and consider a social retargeting campaign.
The attribution model that relies on machine learning algorithms to assign credit across various touchpoints is Data-Driven (Option 3). It uses your account's actual conversion data to calculate the contribution of each click interaction, making it the most accurate model once sufficient conversion volume exists.
To customise metrics and dimensions in a table format in the Explore section, use Free form (Option 4). It provides a familiar crosstab layout and supports multiple visualisation styles including bar charts, pie charts, line charts, scatter plots, and geo maps.
